We experiment on animals in the most gruesome manner imaginable.
We cuts the heads off of over 100 million animals each day. Most are still fully conscious.
Other countries like china do forced medical experiments using prisoners.
Every been inside a prison in the US? Lots of barbaric stuff goes on in there.
We dropped napalm on villages filled with women and children for over a decade. Is that barbaric?
We nuked two cities in Japan. We vaporized 200,000 innocent people in a matter of seconds. Wasn't that barbaric?
The world is what it is. Let's not just point the finger at the Arabs. Their culture is different no doubt and they believe in cutting off hands and feet and heads, but we have our own forms of barbarism as well.
We're all guilty.

The difference is, we don't video tape it as a means to "scare" the world. Yes, we cut off animals heads (to eat), yes prisoners get beat every day (most likely they deserve it anyway), yes we experiment on animals (to try and help humans)..but we don't do that sort of stuff to scare the world. We don't threaten other countries that if they don't do what we want, we're going to chop off a cows head and video tape it. That's the difference.
What about all the arab's living here? Do you see us capturing them? Cutting their heads off? No...but my bet is, they're probably getting pretty scared about it...and perhaps some crazy american is going to end up doing it, because now the world is sort of immune...just pissed. I know that's how I feel.
I thought the Berg video was much worse...maybe because he didn't have a blindfold on, and when they cut off his head you could see the pain in his face. They're all bad...but the berg one got me the worse =(
Also I don't recall Berg saying anything or moving just before they cut off his head. I remember him sitting there very quietly just like this man was.
